Ha.. Im so stupid! The vacuum was in drive causing the wheels to turn when moving backwards thus leaving scuff marks \015\012(from the rubber wheels) on the hardwood. Place the Vacuum in Neutral and turn the belt off and Voila, No more scuff marks! Thanks for all the suggestions!!! You all are GREAT!!!

Vacuums

My vacuum just stopped working, so I don't know what the problem is. I used it in the kitchen to vacuum the hard wood floor. I turned it off, and a few minutes later, turned it back on to finish vaccuuming the kitchen floor. It just would not turn on. I had not unplugged it or did anything to it. I then tried to see if it would work in another plug, and no luck. I'm trying to figure out if it can be fixed or if I need to look for a new vacuum.

When I get most Vacuums that have dies on people most of them the wire has been worn and cut one or more wires on the plug cord. Sometimes the cut can be over looked. Please unplug and check the wire carefully.Also please post the make model a ...

My windsor sensor 12 inch vacuum is to hard to push. I bought a new one and its doing the same thing. My vacuum repair man says he cant fix the problem. My shoulders are sore from working so hard. Help

It\\'s possibly the type of carpet you\\'re using it on. The sensors use the brush speed and the amount of air flow to determine carpet height. Some berber, and tweeds make these things horrible to push. We sell sebo, who make the windsor and we\\'ve ...

Dyson DC07 Bagless Upright Cyclonic Vacuum

Hello, my Kenmore 27514 canister vacuum only works on the hard floor...the carpet suction stopped working while I was using it. Is there anything I can do to fix it or is it necessary to take it in for repair? The vacuum is only 1.5 years old. Thanks. Susan 702.340.8015

My floor brush stopped spinning, I cleaned everything out as per your directions in other posts and following the instructions in the manual. Now the floor brush wobbles and has a hard time spinning when upright. Looking at the end of the brush, opposite the drive belt, the bearing-type end that the brush spins on appears to be off-centered. Is there an easy way to fix this???

Dyson dc07 The rotating brush on the bottom of my vacuum was filled with strings. I removed the brush by undoing all yellow plastic screws from plate. Removed all strings and replaced as best I could and it was hard to get the brush back in and the belt around it. I dont have my manual but it fits so it should be correct....? Right? No, not true, because when I turn it on and try to and vacuum (by lower canister with foot release) it makes that terrible ratching sound). Please help

The loud ratching is a warning to tell you that there is something stopping the roller bar from rotating this is a very common thing lay the machine on the floor front side down take off the bottom plate and just check the belt is in the centre of th ...

Don't want an expert. I wan someone with authority that can make an intelligent decision regarding the way you sell replacement filters. It looks as though the patients are running the ward at HQ. This freak insane! Maniacal and just plain stupid! Tell me something Mr Expert, my closest choice was "vacuum expert" How is this expert going to know and fix the asinine way b&d devised a plan so that the consumer would enjoy wasting a better part of their day. Who, please tell me, who with a drop of

Ouch! So go into Lowes get a 10 pack of electrostatic register vent filters back in the furnace filter section. Take your old filter off and if it's a paper corrugated looking cone just wash it really good and dry it out...if it's disintegrating then ...

I can see the height adjuster under my Bissell pet hair eraser vacuum, but it doesn't adjust. The parts don't look like they're touching. It's been iffy since I took it out of the box.

My Hoover SteamVac has been doing a wonderful job but in two instances, after emptying the dirty water and reattaching the reservoir, the machine has lost suction. The first time I was able to make it work again after taking it apart and putting it back together about 10 times. I don't know what I did that fixed it but as long as it worked again, I was happy. But it's happened again and I can't get it to vacuum. I can see that it isn't clogged. Can you please help me????

I just bought a Kirby Sentria vacuum and shampooer less than a month ago. When they came and done the demonstration at my house they did not leave a manual or any instructions. They said they would be back the next day but have not been back. I need to clean my couch and have no idea how to hook up the attachments. Can you please help me?

I have a Dirt Devil Vision self-propelled vacuum cleaner. Recently, the self-propelled feature is stuck in the backward mode, so it only goes backwards! I can get it to go forward if I push really hard (i guess it is good for a workout!). I try to turn off the propel feature completely, but it will not turn off.
please help!

Hi, the problem you are having is going to be with the switch that controls the forwards and backwards settings so with this stuck in backwards their is no way you can get this turned off, the other problem is your not going to be able to replace thi ...

My Hoover vacuum is not vacuuming the carpets or floors. When I release the tube to use the smaller end the suction works perfect. So i believe the problem is in the rods on the floor or in the part that vacuums the floor! Can you tell me how to fix it , or where can I take it to get it fixed?
thanks
